Our "Scrappy" Friends!

Welcome!

Hello fellow scrapbookers!!! Welcome to "Lasting Memories" which is all about LAYOUTS!! Yes, JUST layouts! There are no cards allowed here. We have weekly themed challenges, but you have the whole month to get in on the fun! Our challenges begin each Sunday at 8am EST and all 4 challenges will end on the date listed on the sidebar at 6pm EST. At month's end, we will choose a GDT to join us for a month! Only one entry per challenge, and no back-linking is allowed since we would love to know that we "challenged" you. We look forward to challenging you and helping you get your pages completed!

Specialized Hosting Sites

A lot of crafters use specialized hosting sites that not all of us have access to. We just wanted to let you know that if we don't comment, it's because we don't have access - but we see your work here at LM and appreciate your taking the time to link up and show off your style!!

LM #640 - March Happenings - World Wildlife Day

Hello, hello! Welcome back to Lasting Memories! I hope you are having a good weekend.

It's a new month and that means we have a new theme and a new group of challenges for you to try. It is my turn to provide the theme and the challenges for the month and this month we will be celebrating some special days in March that you just might not know are special! 

Here is our first challenge:

LM #640 - March 3rd is World Wildlife Day - create a layout and add an animal to it in some way. This can be an animal on your patterned paper, in your photo, or an embellishment.

*You do not have to scrap about an animal - but you can if you want to! Scrap a zoo trip, a pet, one of my granddaughter's nicknames is Goose - so I could scrap about how she got her nickname or add a goose sticker to a layout about her, etc., she also loves squirrels so I could add a squirrel to a layout. Just some ideas!

Here are the wonderful layouts from the design team, starting with our guest designer:

Introducing Our March Guest Designer!!

Hello, everyone! Happy Saturday to you! I hope that your weekend is off to a good start. 

Today we are thrilled to introduce our guest designer for March. Please give a warm welcome to Amy Jo!

March GDT - Amy Jo


Hello all! I'm Amy Jo Johnston and I live with my husband and 11-year-old daughter in Arvada, Colorado. I'm originally from Minnesota but moved to Arizona when I was young. I earned my BA in Secondary Education with an emphasis in mathematics at ASU and went on to teach high school math for 6 years. 15 years ago I moved to Denver, changed careers, and started coaching dance full-time in the NBA. My passion for scrapbooking started when I was in elementary school and really took off when my twin nieces were born in 2004. Family gatherings are my favorite things to document, but I also love showcasing highlights from my NBA career. When I'm not scrapbooking, I love to spend time antiquing, taking yoga classes, and camping. Thank you for allowing me to be the guest designer again this month. I am always so inspired by the creativity I see on Lasting Memories and hope to add to that inspiration!!

You can find more of Amy Jo's beautiful work here

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Be sure to check back tomorrow for a new theme and the first of four new challenges. This month we are celebrating some lesser-known holidays in March!

Have a great day!
